Command in second

[Starix]

Hi, firends.

Help me to make Addon which will show how many slash command was entered into chat in 1 seconds by me
For example, 1000 command in seconds.

thx.

I'm not sure I understand what you want.

Do you want an addon that tells you how many times you entered any slash command in the last 1 second, or an addon that runs a slash command in 1 second?

If the first, I'm not sure what the point would be. How fast can you really enter slash commands?

Please explain why you need such an addon.

[Fizzlemizz]

The obvious answer is why not.

If you have concerns it might be used in some malicious manner then those concerns should be voiced, otherwise if a person is interested in making some whacky addon for their own amusement and you can help, why not?

Edit: I have no idea where to start with such an addon. If there was one out there that needed fixing I might be able to help. I'm still very much in the LUA learning phase.

It would be possible to write such an addon, but I'm not going to waste my time. I can't think of any possible way that would be useful. Even the fastest typist in the world cannot enter more than 1-3 slash commands in a single second. The only ways to enter more would be to (1) spam a macro, but I can't think of any slash command where spamming it 1000 times in a single second with a macro would have any benefit at all, or (2) use third-party automation/botting software, which is against the TOS/EULA and nobody here will help you with anything related to that.

[Fizzlemizz]

So you are asuming that by entering Starix means
/comand, press enter, respond. /comand, press enter, respond.

What about:
/comand /comand /comand /comand /comand /comand, press enter (a self test: how many /comands did I type before a second ticked).

Kidding aside, a good and valid reply Phanx, I'll get my Devils Advocate off and head bedside .

I was bored, here's some code.

local CachedText={};
local function OnShow(self) CachedText[self]=self:GetText(); end
local function OnTextChanged(self) local txt=self:GetText(); if txt~="" then CachedText[self]=txt; end end
 
local Hooked={};
hooksecurefunc("ChatEdit_ActivateChat",function(editbox)
    if not Hooked[editbox] then
        editbox:HookScript("OnShow",OnShow);
        editbox:HookScript("OnTextChanged",OnTextChanged);
        OnShow(editbox);--  Aready shown by the time this runs
 
        Hooked[editbox]=true;
    end
end);
 
local Count,Start=0,GetTime();
hooksecurefunc("ChatEdit_SendText",function(editbox)
    local cmd,now=((CachedText[editbox] or ""):match("^/%S+") or ""):upper(),GetTime();
    if IsSecureCmd(cmd) or hash_SlashCmdList[cmd] or hash_EmoteTokenList[cmd] then
--      Our reset command will run this too
        if Count<0 then Count=0; return; end
        if Count<1 then Start=now; end
 
        Count=Count+1;
        local runtime=now-Start;
        print(("%d commands run in %0.2f seconds. (%0.2f commands per second)"):format(Count,runtime,Count/runtime));
    end
end);
 
function SlashCmdList.SLASHCOUNT_RESET()
--  Our hook will finish the reset
    Count=-1;
end
SLASH_SLASHCOUNT_RESET1="/slashcountreset";
SLASH_SLASHCOUNT_RESET2="/screset";

thanks

but

hash_SlashCmdList[(txt:match("^/%S+") or ""):upper()]

return nil.

It only does that when the command you entered isn't in the table. If that's the case, the command doesn't exist in the normal slash command list and shouldn't increment the counter.

I modified the code posted above to accept secure commands and emotes, regular chat is omitted. I forgot there was a global function Blizzard provided to check if a slash command is a secure command. As for the emotes, that's just something that was overlooked when I posted previously.

cmd return nil

Turns out, Blizzard is clearing the editbox of its contents before I get a chance to capture it. I added in some hooking to support caching the text as the user types it in so we have our copy to work with that Blizzard can't screw up at the moment. I reupdated the code already posted above to the new version.
